Engine blower fan n horn not working

[Vincent Pacilio]

Prepping boat for season: checking all electronic . The engine blower fan( switch does not light up) n horn not working. Is there a common fuse for these 2 switches. If anyone know the location n amp for this fuse. Thanks

Not sure on your boat but mine is on the rear bulkhead beside the battery switch.

Also not only is the blower fan switch not lighting up but the fan is not working. Both fan n horn are not working. Looking for location of blower fan n horn fuse? Reviewed pdf down load manual but did not have fuse diagram .

I couldnt tell you where your fuses are but I will say in my experience when blower fuses blow the blower motor bearing is stuck. Sometimes you can reach inside and free it up. If you try to free it and it is stuck you will need a new one.

Good luck! Do you have a multimeter??

 

[Vincent Pacilio]

Do you if the horn is on the same circuit. Cause that is not working either. All other switches work n light up. Yes I do have a multimeter. Is the blower fan accessible in the engine bay

Hopefully someone with knowledge of you make/model chimes in, but in most cases the blower and horn each have their own circuits and circuit protection in my experience. Blower is likely white with 3 or 4 inch black hose leading from it to an outside vent. Sometimes theres hose on both side if the blower. If there is you will need to clip a zip tie to access the blower motor to see if it free spins. .

I would bust out my meter and see if you are getting voltage to the horn switch and if voltage is good on the other side of the switch when switch is closed(pressing horn button both poles should have 12v).

@Vincent Pacilio did you find any local fuse near the battery or battery switch?

 

[Vincent Pacilio]

both fans work : i removed them and hook directly to 12 volts.

By going direct to a 12 v source you proved your fans work but you should not bypass the fuse permanently as that could cause a fire.

I assume you checked the circuit breakers next to the switches?

finally hunted down blower fan problem. all good

what was the problem? Mine just started doing the same thing on the water the other day, trying to figure out a solution... no the blower will run for a little then stop working

 

[Vincent Pacilio]

Check that fans work bypass the
Switch.?
Next check under helm to see if inline fuses came loose. ?
Finally n this was my problem: there is a 4 prong connector that runs to the switch unplug it . My positive connector was seated in the jacket well. I pushed it in n it worked.

 

[D3nN1s]

Thank you! yeah mine was a loose connection as well, took apart the dash and unplugged all the connectors and reattached, seems to have fixed the problem for now...

Did you ever figure out your horn issue? I'm trying to chase down an issue with mine too. I have an '09 232 Limited S and the horn does not work. Switch will not light up at all. Circuit breaker isn't popped either. Can't seem to find a fuse diagram for this boat anywhere and I checked the 2 fuses I found next to the Batt switches.

There is no fuse for it. The horns on our boats are not the greatest. I had the same issue. I would recommend taking the horn out of the boat, bench test it and more than likely replace it.
